I'm trying to remove these buttons (Enable Customize - Ctrl+Alt+drag'n drop as usual) but without success.Nothing happens. How do I do it?

    A colleague of mine had a similar issue and we actually managed to fix this today (inspired by your post :D).
    Bare with me though, because some voodoo is required to fix that:
    1. Download the attached CloseCust.txt file (it will close the two buttons)
    2. Enable Customize (Preferences>Config>Enable Customize)
    3. Load the .txt file (Zscript>Load)
    4. Press the “CloseCust”- button that should have appeared (ZPlugin>Misc Utilities>Close Cust)
    5. ...maybe you have to press the button multiple times (2-3) until the culprits have disappeared
    6. Disable Customize
    7. Save your UI
    8. Restart ZBrush because the buttons will have disappeared from the ZApplink as well
    9. Hopefully the curse is now lifted

    Thanks Florian!
     It seems my config really cursed - after restart these buttons appear again. I even changed script

    <div>[IButton, "ZPlugin:Misc Utilities:CloseCust", ,&nbsp;</div><div>	[IClose,14340]</div><div>	[IClose,14342]</div><div>]</div>


    but without success, result the same.

    So your buttons disappeared until you restarted the tool?
    If so this is already something :D!
    When I use the (I assume) button IDs from your script, they point me to an "Isolate Current Group" and a "Pick" button. But if they made your Cust1/2 buttons disappear, keep using them I guess. Otherwise I'd revert to the one from my script.
    I talked with my colleague again that had the same issue and he followed the steps above, but added that he did two more things:
    • So after enabling customize/using the script, the buttons disappeared BUT there was still a black bar left in their position.Unlike the actual buttons before, he was now able to Ctrl+Alt drag them away.
    • The other thing he did was not only saving the UI but also storing the config after disabling the "enable customize" mode (Preferences>Config>Store Config)

    So I hope with this addition to the ritual, you can finally get rid of the buttons!

    Ctrl+Alt drag black bars did the trick! I don't know why I didn't get what. It's too easy   :D
    Thanks a lot Florian!
